Product details
Overview
1N5924BUR-1/TR from Microsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-213AB (MELF) glass package, rated for 9.1 V ±5% Zener voltage at 41.2 mA test current, with 4.0 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.5 mA knee current, and 7.0 mA maximum Zener current. It delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply and reference circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5924BUR-1/TR datasheet, 1N5924BUR-1/TR pinout, 1N5924BUR-1/TR application, or 1N5924BUR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its hermetic glass construction, metallurgically bonded contacts for low thermal resistance (RθJA = 120 °C/W), MIL-PRF-19500 screening capability, RoHS-compliant plating, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified Zener voltage (VZ = 9.1 V) measured at TEC = 30 °C after 90 s stabilization. Its low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 4.0 Ω) ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes.
The DO-213AB MELF package enables high-reliability surface mounting with hermetic glass sealing, tungsten slugs for thermal conduction, and cathode-band polarity marking. It supports steady-state power dissipation of 1.5 W at TEC ≤ 115 °C and 1.25 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at IZT = 41.2 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.0 Ω - ensures <10 mV output shift per 10 mA load change, critical for low-noise analog references |
| Knee Current (IZK) | 0.5 mA - minimum current to enter useful regulation region; enables low-power standby operation |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 164 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous DC operation without exceeding 1.5 W power rating |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports extended industrial and aerospace environments without derating |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 120 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu) - determines required PCB copper area for thermal management at full power |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ 200 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction for protection or clamping use cases |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5924B-TR | Same electrical specs but in DO-41 axial-leaded package; no MIL-PRF-19500 screening option; RθJA = 500 °C/W (free-air) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades where SMT footprint is unavailable | Select when mechanical robustness and hand-soldering compatibility outweigh density and thermal performance needs |
| SMBG5924B-E3/5A | Same VZ, IZT, ZZT; SMB package; higher RθJA = 150 °C/W; RoHS-compliant; no MIL screening path | Used in consumer-grade power adapters where cost and assembly speed dominate reliability requirements | Choose for high-volume commercial production needing faster reflow throughput and lower component cost than MELF |
Compared with 1N5924BUR-1/TR, the DO-41 1N5924B-TR sacrifices thermal performance and screening for mechanical serviceability, while the SMBG5924B-E3/5A trades hermeticity and radiation tolerance for lower assembly cost and higher production yield in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1N5924BUR-1/TR?
The 1N5924BUR-1/TR has a Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current (IZT) of 41.2 mA and end-cap temperature (TEC) of 30 °C after 90 seconds of stabilization. This tolerance ensures predictable regulation behavior in production-grade power supplies and reference circuits where ±5% is sufficient for downstream LDO or op-amp biasing.
Does 1N5924BUR-1/TR support MIL-PRF-19500 screening?
Yes, 1N5924BUR-1/TR is available with MIL-PRF-19500 screening per the manufacturer's nomenclature options. Screening includes rigorous environmental testing, lot traceability, and process controls required for defense and aerospace applications. The "UR" suffix denotes the metallurgically bonded MELF variant qualified for this level of reliability assurance.
What is the maximum power dissipation for 1N5924BUR-1/TR at ambient temperature?
The 1N5924BUR-1/TR delivers 1.25 W steady-state power dissipation at TA = 25 °C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. At elevated ambient temperatures, power must be derated per Figure 1 in the datasheet, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 150 °C ambient due to its RθJA = 120 °C/W thermal resistance.
How does the DO-213AB MELF package improve reliability versus standard SMD packages?
The DO-213AB MELF package of the 1N5924BUR-1/TR uses hermetically sealed voidless glass and tungsten slugs to eliminate moisture-induced parameter drift and enhance thermal conduction. Its metallurgically bonded internal contacts reduce interfacial resistance, lowering thermal resistance (RθJEC = 40 °C/W) and improving long-term stability under thermal cycling-key advantages over plastic-tabbed SMD packages like SMB or SMAJ.
Is 1N5924BUR-1/TR RoHS compliant and what plating is used?
Yes, the "-TR" suffix indicates RoHS compliance; the 1N5924BUR-1/TR uses matte tin plating over copper, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. This finish ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles (up to 260 °C for 10 s) and eliminates tin whisker risk, making it suitable for high-reliability commercial and industrial assemblies.
